WHAT THEY SAID: In an interview with Mundo Deportivo, Lewandowski vouched for the Argentine's return: "Messi belongs to Barca and if he returns it will be something incredible. We know that his place is here in Barcelona. I don't know what will happen, but I hope that next season we can play together."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Messi's deal expires at the end of the year, and his future has been the subject of much speculation. He reportedly has offers from PSG and Suadi Pro League side Al-Hilal, while Barcelona are reportedly attempting to put together an official contract - although they are likely to be constricted by La Liga financial regulations.
